Tungsten is one of the most fascinating and resistant metals in the world 🌍⚙️. With a density of 19.25 g/cm³, comparable to that of gold 🪙, and an impressive hardness, this material is able to withstand extreme impacts, even bullets! 🛡️🔫 Because of these unique properties, tungsten is used in military applications, such as armor-piercing projectiles and advanced armor, as it combines brutal strength with an ability to absorb kinetic energy without deforming easily. 💪⚡️ In addition, its extremely high melting point (over 3,400 °C! 🔥) makes it indispensable in the aerospace and technology industry.
